Nobel Peace Laureate Pillay Calls US Sanctions on ICC 'Unacceptable'
The sanctions bar US transactions with the Hague-based tribunal and mark the first direct US action against the ICC itself, officials said.
- On Saturday, judge and former UN rights chief Navi Pillay called United States sanctions against the International Criminal Court "unheard of, unacceptable."
- The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced Pillay as this year's Nobel Peace Prize recipient on Friday, recognizing her prior leadership of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry, which documented genocide in Gaza last year.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed the committee "lost its moral compass," while Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeled the tribunal a "rogue court," escalating condemnation from both nations.
- Hours after Pillay's selection, the United States announced new sanctions against the ICC, prompting the court to reject the measures as an attack on international law, warning "history will judge this moment."
- President Donald Trump, who last month called on ICC member states to quit the court, labeled the committee's choice "a disgraceful and embarrassing decision," continuing his administration's long-running campaign against the Hague-based tribunal.
